The Culinary Union has endorsed Robert Langford for Clark County District Attorney.

It’s time that Nevadans have a District Attorney who will stand up for working people, not just the wealthy and the well-connected.

We look forward to seeing Robert champion workers’ rights and other issues important to working families as Clark County’s next District Attorney.

- Geoconda Argüello-Kline, Secretary-Treasurer for the Culinary Union
